Lets face it, this is all another ruse by the Americans, cooked up in some film studio somewhere to boost American Morale. Theres a global recession, mass unemployment, depression and god knows what else, so just like last time when the country was in a midst of a Vietnam induced downer they cook up some breakthrough and land on a far off distant planet just to boost everyones morale a little bit.

Seriously.

Remote control buggy lands on mars. Everyone knows you cant get remote controls with that sort of range. I checked online and the best I could find was one in Tandy that had about a 750m range, thats it. No way can you get one that lasts all the way to mars.

Beaming back pictures of the landscape..? Seriously. I cant even get a phone signal in the kitchen, how the hell do they think they can get one 35 million miles away.

Like the moon landing was cooked up in Elstree, this ones being cooked up on some back lot in Universal Studios and they are all having a jolly good laugh at our expense.

In your kitchen you dont have direct line of site to the nearest tower.
Nothing between the rover and nasa satellites here but empty space.. :-P

i can guarantee it is made up. I worked on space projects and no one ever did any work. no way they got themselves out of bed in time to get something to Mars

It's all just magnified from a mars bar with some rice bubbles.

Frankly it would be more beleivable if the control room was just three people and a few monitors, but no, they had to go over the top and cram a room with about 90 so called "tech engineers" multiple monitors, 200 keyboards and god knows what else.

Seriously, ive played Call of Duty online. There are 14 year old American kids who can run full bore through unknown terrain, fire 120 shots a minute with unnerving accuracy, whilst talking to collegues, a can of coke in one hand, a spliff in the other, all on a single keyboard. There is no way it takes 90 full grown adults to control a remote control car on an empty lump of rock equipped with a single laser.

if they had just shown two or three people with laptops at NASA HQ i might have bought it, but 90 odd people, they went to far with the fabrication. Typical American exxageration and its caught them out.

The only way they would convince me is to send me to mars to see it myself

and even then i would be on the look out for a three breasted woman assuming it was a total recall style 'visualisation'

Don't look too hard, Jeremy Clarkson will make an appearance sooner than expected.

Is Admin a sock puppet for Anthony Moan?

The American morale is already being boosted by the Olympics, and not many people are actually talking about Mars.

I doubt the remote control technology being used by NASA comes from Tandy Electronics.

Although I do agree that Call of Duty players would be good for this kind of work.

Dinz, which country were you doing your space projects work for? I've never heard Great Britain, Zambia or Australia doing anything notable in space.

I'll just say Capricorn One to you all.

Nostradamus director. When does Deep impact occur?

Anthony Moan · « **Reply #10 on:** August 09, 2012, 12:50 »

Ugh, crazy Kubrick is gone but he did nice works for NASA.
All I can say about sh*t what US services can do is this:

When overseas duty in some American lead camps and when some serious sh*t happened, like someone get KIA and they dont want their families to be notified before official call, they used to black out whole flipping area, and those are huge camps.

Nothing, zero, from land phones, radios all kinds, to GPS, sat or cell phones. Scarry sh*t that Yankees, but I did not see any big anthena at all, nothing. I am pretty familiar with jamming procedures on small scale, but jamming GPS and satellite is another thing.
That is what they are doing up there ;D, I know that 8)

They are sending flipping koalas in space, it is called AKSPWNW (Australian Koala Space Program Which Never Works)

The single biggest scam has to be the women in the programme. Every single half brain celled person knows that men are from Mars FFS.

Australia still haven't learnt from Russia in how to send live animals into space. Give them time.
Maybe start with the Koala remote control version then start launching live ones if it goes to plan.
